Until it’s actually AI and not Machine Learning masquerading as AI because AI is the sectors marketing pitch, I would strongly hesitate considering it as anything other than a tool.

Yes, a powerful tool, and as powerful tools go, they can re-shape how things get done, but a tool none the less and therefore we must consider what its limits are, which is all OP is getting at and the current and known near future state suggests we aren’t evolving passed the tool state

This AI stuff? No, not really. The stuff of dreams is an AI that you can talk to and interact infinitely and trust that it doesn’t make mistakes. LLMs ain’t it.
